i don't think in his defense for a minute he would say that the murder of an ambassador and other american personnel, much less all the other folks who have died in that region, is just a bump in the road. i think what he's trying to do is show everybody that we're on this, the united states is doing well and you know, i think that's a kind of typical no drama obama response. >> alex, is that what it is, the cool head of the president? >> i think there's something to that, but i think there's also a little more, and that is that this president's great strength is his intellect. he lives inside his head and his ideas. and part of it is he doesn't really feel your pain like paul's former boss, bill clinton, but he can memorize a study about it, you know. people are distant from this president. there's a certain sense of arrogance to this white house that they're just detached from it and i think that's a vulnerability. we have two elite candidates running forment. we have an academic elite, barack obama, running against financial elite. so the middle class is up for grabs here. >> alex, i wa

and you know, in defense of the secretary of defense, the details are coming in very slowly simply because it's been difficult to get people out of the country. the debriefings have gone slowly and we can't put people on the ground because of the security situation. so the truth has come out very slowly, even inside our government. >> fran, a lot of people are being critical of the administration. to play devil's advocate here, it's one thing for politicians who are not part of the government to say -- or not part of the administration to say well, look, we should have known this earlier. it's another thing for administration officials to come out in front of an investigation and say oh, it was a terrorist attack. there was a level of caution that an administration official would have that a congressman would not, who is more critical. >> anderson, that's exactly right, and remember, after the bin laden raid, they came out initially with details that turned out not to be accurate and they were really criticized for it. so in some ways, that is understandable. what i don't understand, thoug
